Asshole
1993
Tom Sachs's *Asshole* is a raw, irreverent construction assembling everyday industrial materials—drywall, metal, and acrylic—into a bluntly titled sculptural statement. Four fluorescent light fixtures illuminate the work with a harsh, institutional glow, their surge protector left deliberately exposed as a nod to Sachs's signature "bricolage" aesthetic. The piece embodies Sachs's fascination with systems, functionality, and the subversive humor embedded in utilitarian objects elevated to the status of art.
